Summary
Specialist who conducts hydrostatic tests, airtightness inspections, etc., on gas cylinders to ensure safety by checking for leaks or deformations.
Description
Gas Cylinder Pressure Test Inspectors ensure the safety of high-pressure gas containers by filling gas cylinders with water or test media and conducting hold tests (pressure tests) at design pressure and airtightness tests. They perform calibration and inspection of measuring instruments and gauges, operate test equipment, create and manage inspection records, and confirm compliance with laws and regulations (High Pressure Gas Safety Act, JIS standards). Based on inspection results, they determine and report defective products, and collaborate with quality control and safety management personnel to make improvement proposals.
